Another important warning from the pawoo acquisition: The purchaser, Mask Network, is a cryptotoken company that pushes the "web3" myth and openly runs NFT scams*. A lot of people comment that when Twitter started failing it was ActivityPub that wound up being the decentralized way forward, not blockchain tech, but blockchain scammers have a financial interest in making it look otherwise. (1/2)

* Explaining this comment to ward off lawsuits: all NFT sales are scams.

@mcc not all nft sales are scams. Digital artists have a right to be paid for their work.

@mcc
Substantially none of the NFT schemes are for digital artists getting paid; some may claim they are, as part of the scam, that's about it
